The PhD scholarship is integrated in a project called “COOEE – CO2 emission reduction by exploitation of rolling resistance modelling of pavements”. The transport sector contributes with more than 20% of the total emission of CO2 and therefore there is a huge potential in even small reductions of the energy consumption of cars. Reducing the rolling resistance is one of the ways to reduce emissions. The COOEE project will attack the challenge from various angles: development of advanced models for deterioration and aging of pavements, development of new devices for measuring rolling resistance on the road network and development of novel pavement that is optimized with respect to rolling resistance. All these disciplines will be integrated in the road asset management system of the Danish Road Directorate.
Qualifications
Candidates must hold a master degree in civil engineering –with a specialization relevant to the project in question – or similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the master’s degree. Preferably the candidate has an academic track record and previous research experience.
